Poker, Anyone??

[MBrevard]

Hi, guys! It's about 11:55 p.m. in California and I've just finished watching the World of Poker Championship on our Travel Channel. Do you remember when Meat was there a few months ago?

Sadly, he did not make the cut-off for the final 6 who played for all the money in this round of the tournament. Don't know exactly where he placed...??

But...he was certainly there and it looked like he was in good form. :D

I have grabbed a few images and very short vids for y'all to enjoy today!

(R., if there are any problems associated with putting these up here, please remove them and I'm sure everyone will understand.)

Let's see if I can do this right. :roll:

Dear Testify,

2 Out of 3 = a Deal! :lmao:

[Testify]

[mariella]

Testify, you 'bad' girl! :lmao:
But what makes you think he doesn't want to play with us?
After all, your name is the tittle of his next World-wide #1 record!
And I am Mariella, a very good reason too, I think. :lmao:

I just remembered, I said 'I would behave' some time ago...

So, I know I have the right to remain silent now!

Love,

Mariella

Sorry MB, didn't want to ruin this topic. But I was having 'a Ball' once again.

[Testify]

To bad you can't have everything...
But then again if you had everything there was nothing to want...
Owk, I'll just 'want' for a while longer, and after you all get beat by meat, i'll come pick up the pieces, :twisted: :twisted:

MB!! Great Job!! Thanks!! :)

MB-

I can't believe this- my husband watched that whole darn thing the other day while I was typing away on the computer and he never mentioned that ML was on it. I knew he had been in the tournament a while back, but I didn't know it was this one! Arg! Another missed opportunity to see Meat in action! :cry: Thank you for posting a few clips- how did you do that? Did you transfer from a VCR or do you have a Tivo or some other digital thing? Far too technical for me! Thanks again! :lol:

Sherrie

[MBrevard]

Hi, guys! Glad you enjoyed the clips!

Sounds like you're the best poker player here, Asha! You wait for everyone else to be out, then you play it for all it's worth! :wink:

Hey Sherrie, it's not surprising that your hubby didn't notice Meat in the show. He was only there, as you can see, for extremely brief moments. The photos and vids here are actually the ONLY times he was seen during the two hours. :(

But still...it was good to see him here and he seemed to be having a lot of fun--at least, until his luck ran out and he was eliminated from the tournament.

As for getting clips into my computer, I do things the old-fashioned way. This is what I always used to do in my old fandom and its website. I can capture video from my video card straight from a VCR. Then it's just a matter of cleaning it up a bit and making sure it's in the right format and up it goes.

Pretty simple. But the first time I've tried it here. Glad it worked for everyone! :D

Here's to LOTS more great US promotion for Meat, once the tour begins, and CHSIB is released here later in the summer!!

Love,
MB

[mariella]

you cool MB 8)

Yes, indeed!

Hi MB,

I didn't know you used to run a website. That is something I am sure you were VERY good at.
You are not telling me that, besides this gifted writing you do, you also know about computers? Now I really feel 'stupid'... :lol:

Did you ever think of doing something like this again? I mean, you obviously love Meat Loaf and have a way of saying things I could only wish I had...

Anyway, would LOVE to have you along for THAT game! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Love,

Mariella

[MBrevard]

Ah, Mariella! You? stupid?? NEVER! You're one of the smartest people I know!! :bunny:

Thanks, kiddo! Yeah, I ran a huge website for a British actor/singer for nearly 8 years. Ran a large club for him for over 12 years.

But to be honest, for the past year-and-a-half or so, I've been toying with doing something with ML on the web. So many good Meaty sites around, though, that I'd like to find my own little niche, so as not to step on anyone else's toes, so to speak....But one never knows. :wink:

As for computers, well, we got our first one back in 1977!! So, that's a LONG time to be around them. Talk about an industry changing!!! You wouldn't believe what a 1977 computer was like!! It had about 4k of memory and NO HARDDRIVE!! Everything worked off of cassettes (That's right--the same things you use for music!). The big thing at the time was to get a 5 inch floppy drive! Now, you don't even see those anymore! There were no graphics. "Pictures" were drawn using letters and punctuation marks, like the 'smileys', but more complex.

Our first connection to another computer was a dial up to Compuserve. This was before the Internet, before AOL. Our connection speed was 300 baud (56K means 56,000 baud). The only thing available was, surprisingly, forums! But all they talked about was computers.

The number one computer game was a white dot moving back and forth across the 12" screen between two vertical white lines. It was called "Pong." It seems so unbelievable, when you see what we're all 'playing' with today!!

But having started so long ago doesn't make one smarter or dumber than anyone else. It's just a matter of experience! :wink:

Besides, you're learning more and more about YOUR computer every day!! (Sometimes, the hard way, I know!! :( ) Give yourself a little more time!

Uh, oh! Better stop! R.'s gonna kill us! We went from poker chips to computer chips. Anybody got any potato chips?? Dip??? :D

Love ya!
